DIY Wedding Favor Ideas

Wedding season is definitely upon us. I can remember this time last year going a little crazy trying to find cute favor ideas for my own wedding. After much searching I had it narrowed down to a few I really liked. The only problem was, I had to figure out how to execute making them! Well, all you brides out there, we want to make this much easier for you. This week we are sharing three adorable DIY wedding favor ideas that include a free printable with each one (so unlike me you'll execute them like a pro). All three are from Martha Stewart Weddings, a trusted source of wedding information and ideas.

Here are the three favor ideas that caught our eye.

We can't imagine too many things that are better than icecream, however, these Wedding Favor Cones are the next best thing. To really personalize your favors, pick a candy that is special to both you and your fiance. If you can't decide, why not do two different varieties or mix the two candies? The possibilities are endless, it would be great to make the cones out of seed paper. That way once the candy is gone, your guests can plant them. How this plantable paper works is so easy, in no time at all your guests will have a bouquet of flowers. Click here for the project instructions and free printable.

Idea 3: Seed Matchbook Favors How-To

This is a great spin on the classic matchbook favor. Instead of the classic matches inside, your guests get to enjoy the flowers that will grow once they plant the seeds inside. To take this one step further, use seed paper to print the free printable template and the entire favor will be an eco-friendly, no waste treat for your guests.

I ordered 75 bookmarks for my mom's memorial service, received them, and decided to order 75 more! They are lovely and I know our friends and family will love their bookmark keepsake in memory of my mom. Thank you.
